A team is designing a CI pipeline for a web application. They want to ensure that code quality and security are checked automatically on every pull request. Which of the following should they include? (Select all that apply.)

A build job that compiles the application and reports any compilation errors

A static code analysis job that runs on the pull request branch

A unit test job that runs on the pull request branch

A deployment job that pushes the pull request branch to production

A manual approval step before the pull request is merged

Which of the following is a benefit of static code analysis?

It verifies that the application behaves correctly in production

It enforces coding standards and improves maintainability

It detects runtime performance issues under load

It replaces the need for unit testing

A team is moving from a waterfall model to a CI/CD approach. They want to reduce the time between writing code and discovering bugs. Which change will have the most direct impact?

Increasing the number of developers on the team

Writing more detailed documentation

Running automated tests as part of every commit

Deploying to production more frequently

A development team is adopting a CI pipeline for a microservices application. They want to catch integration issues as early as possible. Which practice should they implement?

Run tests only on feature branches

Run tests only before a release

Run unit tests only on a nightly schedule

Run automated tests on every commit to the main branch

How does continuous testing in a CI pipeline help reduce integration risks?

By ensuring that all code changes are tested together in a single batch

By running tests only at the end of the development cycle

By eliminating the need for version control

By integrating and testing code changes frequently, which surfaces conflicts early
